The Skin Commandments

WITH minimalistic make-up looks providing one of spring/summer 2012's biggest beauty trends (when we say no mascara, we mean no mascara) having beautiful skin is more important than ever. But how to achieve it? We asked Sylvie Chantecaille - skincare expert and founder of beauty brand Chantecaille - for the five beauty rules we should all live by if we want skin to rival a Chloé model's: SEE SPRING/SUMMER'S MINIMALISM TREND IN PICTURES 1. Drink fresh vegetable juice, eat fresh fruit every day, and do not smoke! 2. Wash your face every night with either a milk cleanser or a gentle foaming cleanser with exfoliating beads. 3. Once or twice a week use the Chantecaille Fruit and Flower Acid Mask - it will remove any imperfections and gently dissolve all unhealthy cells from your skin's outer layer, leaving you with clear and radiant skin. 4. After a flight, steam your face and body with a warm shower. It will relax and rehydrate you. Make sure you use a moisturising mask. We made the Chantecaille Jasmine and Lily Healing Mask just for that and you can sleep in it too. 5. When you wake up in the morning dip a clean cotton pad in the strongest tea left in your tea pot. Gently press the tea soaked cotton pad on your eyes - it will de-puff you and make you look instantly awake. www.chantecaille.com
